In the evening, Daddy continued to tell the story of his meeting with Aunt Dao.

"Daogu told me that the world is facing a great catastrophe. I told her about my encounter with the Drylands in the mountains, and what the Drylands had told me about their mysterious powers. She seemed to know about it. And said that the reason she came to me was related to the Drought Clan.

"I was curious and asked her, 'Do you know about the Dryfish Clan?'

She laughed and said, "Now in the world, it is the world of our Wa royal family. But beyond the four wildernesses, there are many different races from us who live in the secret world. These races have different forms and appearances, but they are all human races that have survived from ancient times. Although they have been ostracized and crushed by the Wa royal family for thousands of years, they are all descendants of the gods, just like us. They are also the masters of this world. The Drought Devils are one of them. The drought tribe living in the secret world, in order to avoid incurring the disaster of extermination, will not appear in front of the Wa royal family. However, there are exceptions for both types of people. ’

"I asked, 'What are the two types of people?'

"She said, 'One is Ximu. Because Ximu has the magic power of the gods, although the human race of the secret world has the ability to avoid ordinary manifest people, they cannot avoid Ximu's eyes and awareness, and can only passively accept the fact of appearing in front of Ximu. Therefore, each of us knows about the various human races that exist in the world. It's not uncommon to know about the Dryfish. Not only do we know them, but we also deal with them often, and for tens of thousands of years, the communication between Ximu and the Drought Tribes has never been interrupted. ’

"I asked, 'What about the other category?'

"Dao Gu said: 'There is another category of sons-in-law. ’

"As soon as I heard the name, I remembered that Ran Xiang had also said it, so I said, 'I also mentioned the Son-in-law before when I met the Drought Fish, but when I asked him, he didn't tell me. It is also said that they have ancestral teachings, and except for the son-in-law, they do not appear in front of any Wa royal family. Is it a personal name, and what does it do?'

"Daogu said: 'In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor named Nulu as the lord of Xiqiang, and his descendants were the Dry Lu tribe. The appearance of the Dry Devil tribe is the same as that of the female Fish, the body is short, the body is scorched, and the Dry Tribes are all female, and there is no custom of marriage, and they can conceive and give birth. At that time, the Yellow Emperor was the co-ruler of the world, and the drought tribe paid tribute every year. During the emperor's reign, during the tribute period of the Drought Fish Dynasty, seeing that the Wa royal family was in good shape, he was ashamed of his ugly shape, and asked the emperor to give the men of the Wa royal family a marriage match with the Drought King to change the physical appearance of the royal family, and the emperor was gracious. Since then, this has become a rule, and each generation of the Drought King must choose a man from the Wa royal family to marry. The man of the Wa royal family who is married to the king of the drought is called the son-in-law. Since the existence of the son-in-law, the appearance of the previous generations of drought kings has gradually converged with the Wa royal family, and is different from other drought tribesmen, but they are all women. When the king of Dayu, the drought was hidden in the secret world, and the case was not interrupted, but in the world, except for the person who was selected as the son-in-law, no one knew about it. ’

"I asked, 'How did the Drought Tribesmen choose their son-in-law, and how can they guarantee that they are willing to marry the Drought King?'

"She said, 'The moment he was born, his fate was doomed, and the power of fate would push him step by step to the side of the Drought King. This power of fate is also the main driving force for the multiplication of all things in the world. Once the son-in-law enters the secret world and combines with the Drought King, he will not be able to return to the manifest world for the rest of his life. ’

"I went on to say, 'These things are unheard of to me. So what's the real reason you're coming to me?'

She smiled and said unhurriedly, 'As I told you just now, there are one thousand and eighty Xi Mu in the world. Each Ximu has a name, and that name will be passed down from generation to generation. The name of Ximu is based on the combination of the star names of the one hundred and eight stars in the Big Dipper constellation and the heavenly stems. There is a person named Ximu Kuijia, she is the first Ximu selected by Nuwa, and she is also the first Ximu among the 1,000 and eighty Ximu, ruling all Ximu. The present-day Ximu Kuijia is currently on the border of your residence, and it is also the closest place to the Dryfish. She is a mother with an ultra-conservative mindset. In her concept, only the Wa royal family is considered a human race, and all other human races are considered by her to be a cheap race, sometimes called a demon. ’

Out of curiosity, I interrupted her and asked, 'The races that exist in the secret world are different from people in physical appearance, why can they still be considered human, in the minds of ordinary people, it is normal for such creatures to be called demons. I wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a Terran until I knew the Drought Clan. If you only look at the outside, you will also think that they are demons. So what is the definition of human beings, and are there any real demons in this world?'

She shook her head with a smile and said, "For ordinary people in the world, their understanding of people is limited to the Wa royal family. But if Ximu thinks so, it is very narrow-minded. The Wa royal family does not represent the whole of people. The reason why a person is human is not because of his appearance, but because of his heart. The human mind originally came from the gods, so all the descendants of the gods are human races and have divinity. Although the Wa royal family voluntarily gave up their divinity, it was not completely detached from divinity, but that divinity divinity had infiltrated from the outside and lost the power of the gods. Demonic nature is the other side of human beings, since the day of human birth, human beings have produced demonic nature, and human demonic nature has caused all kinds of evils in the world. But when man is alive, the demonic nature is suppressed by the divine nature. Although people occasionally behave inhumanly under the guidance of demonic nature, living people do not become demons. After death, the divinity is sublimated and separated from the bones, but the demonic nature is forever condensed on the bones, and as the flesh and bones decompose and die, the demonic nature is also extinguished. But under the influence of evil forces, the demonic nature will be awakened, and the demon will be born and make waves. Demons have nothing to do with people, everything in the world, including animals and plants, and even an object, will have spirituality after being nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, and they can become demons. ’

"Dao Gu paused for a moment and continued, 'My Wa royal family has been working with the Drought Clan to maintain order in the world through the Ximu team for thousands of years, and the two clans have established a long-term and strong alliance. In the places that hundreds of millions of Li people can't see, in the years that history is imperceptible from ancient times to the present, the Drought Devil Clan has helped our Nationality survive countless disasters, and our Ximu group has also contributed countless efforts to the survival and development of the Drought Devil people on behalf of the Wa Imperial Family. In the process, the two sides established a deep friendship. This unbreakable friendship was shattered ten years ago. And the person who broke this relationship was Ximu Kuijia, that is, the first Ximu of our generation. ’

"When I heard this, I was confused. I wanted to ask a question, but I didn't know where to start, so I just opened my mouth and was silent.

"Aunt Dao saw my confusion, and she was relieved: 'What I told you today, you may not understand for a while. But don't worry, your later experiences will explain it all for you. ’

"After saying this, Dao Gu stood up, bowed in front of me with her hands arched, and then said, 'Today I only ask for one thing. ’

"I also hurriedly stood up and returned the salute and said, 'Master doesn't have to be like this, the boy can't afford it. If you have any instructions, just say clearly, if I can do it, I will definitely go to the soup and fire, and I will not hesitate. ’

"Dao Gu still stood, made another gesture, and said, 'For the sake of the well-being of the Wa royal family and the peace and harmony of the world, the gap between the Wa royal family and the drought tribe needs to be bridged. In the world today, only you have the ability and possibility. I would like to ask you to take up this responsibility at the right time. Don't shirk hopefully. ’

"When I heard this, my mind went blank and I didn't know what to do.

"After a while, I straightened my mind a little and asked my aunt: 'Although I still don't know the ins and outs of what you said, it is too big for me, far beyond my identity, and beyond the boundaries of my imagination. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ’

"Dao Gu said calmly: 'I don't ask you to understand this matter now, I only ask you to remember my entrustment today in the future. I also believe that I can't be wrong. ’

I was speechless.

"Dao Gu finally said: 'Okay, it is not only destiny but also fate for you and me to meet today. I won't keep you much at the moment, please take care all the way. ’

"I got up to leave, and as soon as I got to the door, I turned around and asked, 'I haven't asked for the teacher Fu Zun yet.' ’

"Daogu replied: 'My real name is Ximu Weixin. It's a name that no one in the world will know. The mountain where I live is surrounded by mountains, but it is not connected to the surrounding mountains, but a lonely mountain that emerges from the flatland, and people call it Rootless Mountain. The villagers in the neighborhood also called me Rootless Zhenren because of the name of the mountain. If you have a chance to see you again in the future, you can call me a rootless Taoist. ’

"Saying goodbye to the rootless real person, I made my way back to town. It was nearly noon, and the festivities in the town weren't over yet.

"I went back to the store alone, and when I thought back to the experience I had just experienced, my heart was heavy as if it had been filled with lead.

"The midday sun shines through the colorful window flowers, and the stars sprinkle all over the room. I fell into a deep sleep. ”
